We have more pictures from the mayamada picnic the past month. Look out for a few videos from the day and a behind the scenes look as me put together the mayamada cupcakes 
Thankfully umbrellas weren’t needed all day!
Everyone got stuck into the cakes as soon as they came out.
Everyone waited in anticipation for the t-shirt giveaway

We’ll have to do another next summer. Check out our Facebook page for all the photos.
Mayamda Super Fun (and Only Slightly Damp) Picnic Time!
Aug 22nd
There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.
- Don’t trust British weather or weathermen.
- Touchscreen phones don’t work too well in a downpour.
- Good people will come through whatever the weather.
This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen. It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!
After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.
But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….
To this.
A really great turn out considering the early downpour.
Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…
…and things turned out well in the end – high five!
For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time
Look our for more pictures on our Facebook page. If you were there on the day be sure to let us know what you though too.
Super Fun Picnic Time!
Aug 1st
It’s now only a few weeks until our picnic in Hyde Park and the excitement is building.
We’ll be in Hyde Park on the 20th of August for a fun day out to celebrate the end of summer, mayamada style. We’ll have FREE food and drink, a t-shirt giveaway and a few other surprises too
We recently got a bunch flyers printed to hand out and we’re putting together the menu and plans for entertainment. You keep up with our plans for the day on the event page.
Hot Lunch Photoshoot
Jul 31st
What a day! I always look forward to doing photoshoots for new tees as each one is something different and our photoshoot last week was no exception.
You’ve seen the story behind the show and the characters featured in the design…now we can tell you about the t-shirt itself.
The day stared off at a nice pub called the Lemon Tree. They were kind enough to let us take over the upstairs for hair and make up. The models Andrees and Riyonn were expertly made up…
…while the rest of us waited…
